EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Stones Apple, Malus domestica variety," is a captivating representation of an apple from the horticultural world's rich past. Drawn by J.L. Macfarlane and published as part of "The Florist and Pomologist," a comprehensive work on fruit and flowers, this exquisite image was published in London between 1878 and 1884. The publication, which contained a total of 251 hand-coloured and chromolithographic plates, was a collaborative effort between artists Walter Hood Fitch, Miss E. Regel, and J.L. Macfarlane, and lithographers G. Severeyns and Stroobant from Belgium. The "Stones Apple" depicted in this print is a variety of the common apple tree, Malus domestica. The name "Stones" is believed to have originated from the apple's distinctive, ribbed, and speckled appearance, which resembles the surface of a stone. This antique print not only showcases the intricate details of the apple's texture and colour but also transports us back in time to an era when botanical illustrations were meticulously crafted works of art. The Florist and Pomologist was a significant contribution to the field of horticulture during the late 19th century. Its publication provided an extensive record of various fruit and flower species, contributing to the advancement of horticultural knowledge and appreciation for the natural world. This Stones Apple print is a testament to the remarkable attention to detail and artistic skill that characterized such works during this period. As we admire the beauty and intricacy of this Stones Apple print, we are reminded of the rich history of botanical illustration and the enduring fascination with the natural world that continues to inspire us today.
